spots and bars are made of a mixture of white and red hairs, so 
that while lighter than the ground color, they are not pure 
white. The clypeus has long white hairs. The falces are dark 
and slightly iridescent. The palpi and legs are dark brown, 
the former with white, and the latter with light brown hairs. 
Mr. Townsend found a single specimen at Chihuahua, Mex¬

The female is now described for the first time. When we 
described the male in 1901, we mistakenly gave as its mate a 
female to which we leave the name comatus. 
The cephalothorax is black covered with brownish hairs and 
having striking owl-like tufts of dark hairs extending sideways 
and forwards on the eye-region; it is conspicuously marked 
throughout the length of the sides by wide white bands which 
sometimes have a pinkish tinge toward the front. The clypeus 
is covered with yellowish-white hairs, and one male shows some 
long yellow hairs above the front row of eyes. On the edge of 
the clypeus and thinly covering the bronzy falces, are long white 
hairs. The abdomen is red with a white basal band which 
reaches half-way along the sides. On the posterior third is a 
central black band notched with red or white, and having metal¬ 
lic scales in the middle, and from this two black bands curve 
forward in such a way as to encircle a large red or red and 
white spot (sometimes broken by black lines into three) on the 
front part of the dorsum. This pattern is well figured by Koch.
